" Before spending pounds on a new Coat and Skirt , see if you cannot have the old one cleaned and repaired . It is probably made of better material than you can buy to - day . Don't be too much in the fashion . The more fashionable a frock looks the sooner it gets out of date . Never buy what you can make just as well and more cheaply . Old leather gloves can be made into leather waistcoats and childrens ' leggings ; old felt hats into bedroom slippers ; old woollen stockings into little frocks , jerseys , knickers , caps and bonnets .

LEOMINSTER RURAL DISTRICT COUNCIL . HOUSING QUESTION DEFERRED . The monthly meeting of Leominster Rural Dist- rict Council was held on Friday , when there were present : Mr. J. M. P Cave ( Chairman ) , Messrs G. Butters , F. C. Tomkins , L. Evans , E. L. Jen- kins , W. Evans , W. J. Rees , H. Langford , B. C Ridgley , J. Lewis , T. Edwards , J. E. George , K. Bemand , J. Robinson , with the Deputy Clerk ( Mr. Gibson ) , the Medical Officer ( Dr. Williams ) , the Surveyor ( Mr. W. O. Davis ) and the Inspector ( Mr. D. W. Cave ) . The Chairman proposed a vote of condolence with the widow and family of the late Alderman Wood- house , one of the oldest members of the Council and a very regular attendant . Mr. Tomkins seconded and it was carried . The Clerk reported that he had forwarded to Mrs. Luard , Hon . Secretary of the K.S.L.I. prisoners of war fund , a cheque for £ 183 collected in the district , and a receipt had been received . HOUSING QUESTION . The Local Government Board wrote stating that they had instructed their inspector Mr. Clifton to visit the district with a view of conferring with representatives of the Council on this subject . In a further letter on July 29th the Board asked that the return as to houses required asked for should be furnished . The finance report stated that the balance in hand was £ 3,592 115. 4d . , cheques to be signed £ 493 os . 1d . , leaving a balance in hand of £ 3,099 118. 3d . HOUSING RETURNS . Since the last meeting the Clerk had addressed to the Parish Councils and Parish Meetings ques- tions in relation to the housing of the district in order to furnish a return the Local Government 2 . Board . The following parishes asked for cottages : Brimfield , six ; Kimbolton , six ( but opposed to the ues of State or local funds ) ; Kingsland ; 12 ; Little Hereford , 10 ; Monkland , 2 or 3 ; Stoke Prior , The following parishes stated that they did not require additional houses : Bodenham ( houses re- quire repair , also local authorities and railway companies should provide dwellings for employees ) , Docklow , Eye , Ford , Hatfield , Hope , Humber , Kimbolton , Luston , Leysters , Middleton , Monkland , Newton , Orleton , Pudleston , Stoke ,, Yarpole . Mr. Jenkins opposed the idea of 12 cottages in Kingsland . Mr. Rees , said that at Lucton they wanted five for the farms and one for Lucton School . Mr. George said that he had 345 acres and no cottages . Mr. Tomkins said that many railwaymen lived at Brimfield and took the best cottages , The Clerk said that if they made the return they would have to go further and draw up scheme . a Dr. Williams referring to the statements as to the need for improving existing cottages , said the Council had power to do that . There were any amount of cottages with two wretched little rooms . What were they to do when a man , wife and eight children were living there . No scheme which did not give the Council nower to make owners en- large cottages would be adequate . The Chairman said that in the returns 40 cot- tages were asked for . How much would that cost ? Dr. Williams said they could not build them under £ 350 each . The Chairman said the question was whether they should adopt a scheme or not . Mr. Evans : I should say not . Mr. Rees said he did not believe in letting things stand still as they were . Mr. Langford said the Council might postpone the question , but they could take it for granted that the Government would force the Council to take up the housing question and it was a pity the Local Government Board should have to force the Council into doing it . Houses were required in the district and existing houses wanted to be put into repair . If the Cour.cil did not take some action they would be forced to do so . Mr. T. Edwards proposed that the Council take no further action at present . Mr. Jenkins seconded and it was carried , Mr. Lat : gford dissenting . On the suggestion of Mr. Langford it was agreed to add as the opinion of the Council that exist ing houses should be improved and repaired . FIXING THE WINTER PRICE OF MILK .

WILLIAM PHILLIPS . THE FUNERAL . Phillips , The funeral of the late Mr. William whose death at Green Bank , Leominster , we re- Moravian corded last week , took place at the Church on Saturday . There was a large and repre- sentative attendance . The cortege was preceded by the Rev. A. G. Phillips , accompanied by Mr. W. C. Miles . The coffin having been placed in the church , an impressive service , conducted by the minister , opened with the hymn " Servant of God well done . " In the course of an eloquent address , the Rev. A. G. Phillips applied to the life of the late Mr. William Phillips the words of St. Paul " I have fought the good fight , I have finished my course , I have kept the faith . " He said that rather than striking a sombre note he would strike a note of praise to God as they paid their last tribute to the dead . It was with awe and reverence that they met , for they were in the presence of death , which had been overcome by the crucified and now risen Christ . They had come to pay the last rites to a veteran in God's cause , to whom the call had come to go home for higher service and to take his place of honour in the Kingdom of God . William Phillips was not a great man as the world esteems greatness but he was great in the sight of Almighty God . He was great in the sight of Him whose footsteps he followed and as He went about the highways and byways of Gallilee , so William Phillips went about the high- ways and byways of Herefordshire on the same errand . His greatness further lay in his nobility of character and purity of life , because he was good and humble , a good citizen , and because he was happy in his home life . He was faithful in business as was to his his Master and faithful fellow men . His work in the Sunday School and in the Church would not be forgotten and there was many a Moravian minister now gone to his home whom he had helped and comforted time after time . And then he took up his rural mission work and they knew how he carried out that work . Then came the period of retirement and it must have been a great wrench to take himself from the people in the mission and whom he loved and who loved him . Like some old warrior returned from a campaign he told of the work he had done and the battles he had fought , and like , Paul , even when a prisoner , he lost no opportunity of doing good . And how like Paul he was at the end ! He could say with the Apostle " For me to live is Christ , to depart and be with Christ is far better . " There was no moaning at the bar when he set out to sea . There was no storm or wave to ruffle his passing . He went away in peace because his Pilot is with him . They sor- rowed with those who were left , but they thanked God for such a man and praised him that He had called him to Himself . At the conclusion of the service the coffin was the church , borne to the burial ground behind where the last rites were performed by the Rev. A. G. Phillips . The mourners were : Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Thomas ( son - in - law and daughter ) . Mrs. Everill ( sister ) , Mr. W. W. Phillips ( nephew ) , Miss P. Phillips ( niece ) . Among others present were : the Mayor ( Councillor J. B.

THE HARVEST POSITION . The reports of the Commissioners of the Food Production Department up to last week - end indi- cate that the unsettled weather which prevailed over the greater part of the country last week interfered very considerably wita narvest opera- tions . Further reports of sprouting and shedding have been received , and on Saturday last the con- dition of the crops in the Northern counties and in Wales was causing some anxiety . In Cumberland and Westmorland hardly any harvest work was done last week , and many crops .. are reported to be lying at and twisted in the fields with the weeds and sprouted coru growing up unrouga nem . " A large amount of corn was stacked in good condition in Northumberland and Durham , but a considerable quantity has yet to be cut in the 111 later districts . Harvest operations were seriously retarded by the heavy rains in Lancashire and Cheshire . the hill districts growing corn was badly laid and twisted , and the sprouting of wheat and oats was " fairly general where the corn has been cut some time and the stooks have not been hooded . " In parts of the Fylde and West Lancs . districts many acres of low - lying lands were flooded and the cereal and root crops suffered seriously . Very little harvest work was done in Yorkshire . All the autumn wheat in Shropshire and Stafford- shire has been safely gathered , but the oat crop has suffered considerably . A certain amount of corn carting was carried out in Lincs . , Rutland , and Notts . , and , with the ex- ception of an odd field here and there , the high lands have been cleared . A considerable acreage of corn , however , still remains out in the Fens . In most districts of Northants and Leicestershire the wheat has been harvested in good condition , but a considerable acreage of oats and barley still remains in the shock . The rains interfered with threshing , but the corn where it has been threshed is stated to be " coming out well . " Very little progress was made last week with the corn still out in the fields of Beds . , Cambs . , Hunts . , and the Isle of Ely . The rain interfered with harvesting in Berks . , Bucks . , Oxon . , and Wilts . , but good progress was made with the breaking of stubbles and the root crop benefited materially . Only about one - third to a half of the corn in North Worcestershire had been harvested up to last week - end , but in the south of the county it was practically all in . In Warwickshire and Derbyshire there , is still a great deal of corn out in the fields , and some cases of sprouting have been reported . Harvest operations in Somerset , Devon , and Corn- wall were át a standstill last week , but the Com- missioner reports that " practically all the wheat has been saved , " and and that " in the carly . districts the whole of the corn grown has been harvested . " In late districts of Somerset , how- ever , there was a considerable amount of corn . still uncut at the week - end . In the Southern and Eastern districts of Devon- shire " it is estimated that 90 per cent . of all the corn has , been saved . In the North and West the wheat has been saved , and at the week - end about half the oats and barley had been cut and one- third harvested . In the central districts of Cornwall the greater . proportion of the corn has been saved , but in the extreme west and north cast there is still a large area of corn to be cut and a very large area to be harvested . Sprouting has been reported from some districts . With the exception of a certain amount of corn which is still out in the later districts , the harvest is practically finished in Hants . , Dorset , and the Isle of Wight . Reports as to carly threshings con- tinue to be favourable both as regards yield and quality . HARVESTING GRAIN IN WET WEATHER . In view of the unfavourable harvest weather at present prevailing in the later districts , the Food Production Department desire again to urge the adoption of every possible means of preventing or reducing loss . One of the best and simplest safe- guards in inclement weather is a well - built stock , and in these days of inexperienced labour the im- portance of securing this cannot be too strongly emphasised . sible . so as IN THE HOLY LAND . ALLENBY'S MAGNIFICENT VICTORY . OVER 40,000 PRISONERS AND 265 GUNS . REMNANT OF ARMY DISPERSED . IMMENSE CAPTURES OF BOOTY . General Allenby's net has encompassed the Tur- kish army that was in front of him . Already 18,000 prisoners and 120 guns have been counted and it is certain that the final total will be much larger . The whole Turkish army here - the Sultan's finest troops - numbered about 25,000 . A few may es cape by abandoning all their transport and cross- ing the Jordan by the two available fords . Then they will find themselves in the desert among hostile tribesmen . Every other way of escape 1S closed . The following British despatches were issued during the week - end : - By 8 p.m. on September 20 the enemy resistance had collapsed everywhere save on the Turkish left in the Jordan Valley . Our left wing having swung round to the cast had reached the line Bidich - Baka - Messudich junc- tion , astride the rail and riads converging on Nab- lus from the west . Our difficult right wing , advancing through country against considerable resistance , had reached the line Khan Jibeit ( 1 miles north - east astride of El Mugheih ) -Es Sawish , facing north the Jerusalem - Nablus road . as On the north our cavalry , tarversing the field of Armageddon , had occupied Nazareth , Afuleh and Beisan , and were collecting the disorganised masses arrived of enemy troops and transport they from the south . All avenues of escape open to the enemy except the fords across the Jordan between Beisan and Jisr ed Damieh were thus closed . East of the Jordan the Arab forces of the King of the Hedjaz had effected numerous demolitions on the railways radiating from Deras , several im- portant bridges , including one in the Yurmak Valley , having been destroyed . Several days must elapse before accurate figures . of captures can be given , but already over 8,000 prisoners , 100 guns , large quantities of both horse and mechanical transport , four aeroplanes , many locomotives , and much rolling stock have been counted . Very severe losses have been inflicted on the masses of Turkish troops retreating by difficult roads by our air services . SUNDAY'S REPORT . By 9 , p.1 . on September 21 the infantry of our left wing , pivoting on their left about Bir Afur ( five miles east by north from Tul Keram ) had reached the line Beit de Jan ( five miles south - east of Nablus ) -Samaria - Bir Afur , shepherding the enemy on the west of the Jerusalem - Nablus road into the arms of our cavalry operating southwards from Jenin and Beisan . Other enemy columns vainly attempted to es- cape into the Jordan Valley in the direction of Jisr ed Damich ( which was still held by our troops ) . These columns suffered severely from our aircraft , which constantly harassed them with bombs and machine - gun fire from low altitudes . In the vicinity of Lake Tiberius our cavalry detachments hold Nazareth and the rail and road passages over the Jordan at Jisr Mejamie . Already 18,000 prisoners have been counted and guns collected . 120 MORE PRISONERS AND GUNS CAPTURED . HARASSING THE ENEMY . General Allenby reported on Tuesday as follows : East of the Jordan the enemy is withdrawing towards Amman and the Hedjaz Railway , pursued by Australian , New Zealand , West and Indian Jewish troops , who have reached Es Salt , captur- ing guns and prisoners . To the north our cavalry have occupied Haifa and Acre , after slight opposition . The number of prisoners increases , and the total will exceed largely the figure of 25,000 already mentioned . The Arab forces of King Hussien have occupied Maad , and are harassing the bodies of the enemy retreating northwards towards Amman along the Hedjaz Railway . ALL GUNS OF TWO OTTOMAN ARMIES TAKEN . DOUBTFUL , IF MANY OF FOE'S FORCES WILL , ESCAPE . The 265 guns captured in Palestine are ( says the Exchange military correspondent ) believed to be the whole of the guns in possession of the two Turkish armies . The British cavalry are quite close to Amman , on the Hedjaz Railway . As a rule , a stook should consist of not more than ten sheaves . Taking one sheaf under each arm the stooker should jab them down smartly , facing each other and with the butt ends from 8 inches to 2 feet apart . Pressing them firmly in- wards at the bands , he should bring the heads together so as to produce as sharp a ridge as pos- The first pair always forms the centre of the stook and stands upright ; the succeeding pairs should be placed alternately on each side of the first , and lean a little towards them . The end of the stook should face the prevailing wind , to allow a current of air through and also to diminish wind pressure . The usual direction is south - west and north - east an aspect which also secures the best distribution of sunshine . After rain or wind fallen sheaves should be care- fully set up . Where stooks have remained exposed to wet weather for a considerable time it may be necessary to move them . but care should be taken not to now taken over- expose undamaged portions of the sheaf . In extreme cases sheaves may have to be opened . out to dry . Further expedients , such as the use of Field Mows , Hand Mows , mall stacks , ventilators , & c . , are fully dealt with in Food Production Leaflet No. 50 , copies of which may be obtained free of charge on application to the Secretary , Board of Agriculture and Fisheries , 3.

The scheme for of the employment threshers has been fairly started and gangs of women are now employed in Kent , Essex , War- wick , Stafford , and Glamorgan . The girls appear to be keen on their new job . They are housed in permanent billets and go out to their work every day . The gangs consist as a rule of four Land Army women and a forewoman ; and wages average 23s . per week . The experiment of employing women for this work was tried for the first time in the autumn of last year , when gangs were sent out to Lancashire , Leicester and Nottinghamshire , where they did good work . That the work is of an arduous nature and try ing in many ways is not to be denied , and only the strongest women are chosen for it . Moreover , the most careful supervision is given to the women employed on threshing . Some of the women have improvised masks of muslin or light canvas and say that they find these entirely successful as a protection from dust and smoke . A POPULAR WOMEN'S MARKET . The Criccieth Women's Institute market which was registered on March 24th , 1918 , reports a turn- over since then of upwards of £ 2,000 . Vegetables , fruit , poultry , rabbits , and eggs , are sold in the market . The local women are responsible for the whole of the management of this interesting de- velopment at the Prime Minister's village . THE TESTING OF SEEDS ORDER . SELLING CEREALS AND GRASS SEEDS FOR SOWING . The attention of farmers in England and Wales is drawn to the fact that when selling wheat , bar- ley , oats , rye . clover seed , etc. , to other farmers for sowing it is necessary , under the Testing of Seeds Order , 1918 , that these should be tested and that the required declaration should be made in writing to the purchaser at or before the time of sale or delivery . In the case of cereal seeds , how- ever , it is sufficient , by virtue of a general licence recently issued by the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries , for the declaration to be delivered to the purchaser within one month of the sale or deliv- ery , and not necessarily at or before the date on which this is effected . In the case of wheat , barley , oats and rye the declaration must state- ( 1 ) The name and address . of the seller . ( 2 ) The variety . ger- ( 3 ) The percentage of germination ( if the mination is at or above the standards set out in the Order , viz . , wheat and barley 90 per . cent . , oats 85 per cent . , rye 80 per cent . , statement to that effect is sufficient , but if below these standards the actual percentage must be declared ) . ( 4 ) The date of the germination test ( unless made within six months of sale ) . No declaration need be made in respect of the purity of cereals . The germination test may be made by the far- mer himself , or by a private testing station , or by the Official Seed Testing Station , 72 , Victoria ; Street , London , S.W.1 . T Farmers may sell seeds wholesale to a merchant as " seeds as grown , " in which case only a dec- laration as to variety is required . Particulars as to the declaration needed in the case of sales of other kinds of scheduled seeds and of the regulations with regard to the Official Seed Testing Station are given in Food Production Leaflet No. 47 , copies of which may be obtained , free of charge , on application to the Board of Agriculture , 3. St. James's Square , London , S.W.1 . GORSE FOR FEEDING . and The practice of using young shoots of gorse for the feeding of cattle and horses was . at one time common in many parts of this country , It is still followed in some districts , might , under present circumstances , be considerably extended . Gorse is in many ways an excellent winter food for certain classes of stock , and might be largely made use of with straw , of which there will be much more than usual to consume during the coming winter . Generally gorse is used from Octo- ber to the beginning of the New Year . The usual method is to cut daily what is required for use , and then to pass the gorse through al gorse- chopper , or ev n an ordinary chaff - cutter . After this it is mixed with chopped straw roughly in the proportion of from one - third to one - half by bulk Special gorse - Choppers are often used in places where gorse is regularly fed , but an old- fashioned chaff - cutter , with slanting knives fixed on a drum ( which is the principle on which gorse- choppers are made ) will answer the purpose well . An ordinary strong chaff - cutter , if set to cut short , will also serve . Gorse is not generally considered useful for young stock , but is certainly of great value for horses and especially cows . THE NEW BUTTER DISTRIBUTION SCHEME . The revised butter distribution scheme . was timed to come into operation on September 29th . In view of the fact , however , that retailers , caterers , and institutions , have not been able in all cases to obtain their permit forms as early as had been provided for under the revised scheme , it has been decided to postpone the operation of the scheme until October Butter will continue to be distributed on the basis of the old applica- tion forms until this date . are 2 . Retailers , caterers , and institutions must take steps to ensure that their permit forms ( N Fats . 5 ) lodged with their suppliers by October These forms must be obtained from the Toeat food offices , and failure to lodge them by the date mentioned may result in the absence of butter supplies during the second half of October . The Arabs have captured Jerdun , three miles north of Maan , and the position of the Turkish farce now broken in two on the cast of the Jor- dan , and cut off from Damascus , is regarded as critical . It is very doubtful if many of the Tur- . kish fighting forces will succeed in escaping . ALLENBY'S TROOPS REACH AMMAN . OVER 40,000 PRISONERS AND 265 GUNS . The British rush in Palestine continues un- abated . In pursuit of the Turks cast of the Jordan we have reached Amman , and simul- taneously the Arabs are thrcatering the enemy retiring northwards from Maan . Our troops have , not 40,000 less prisoners , with than 265 guns . The following official despatch relating to the operations in Pa'cstine was issued on Wednesday : East of the Jordan our troops in pursuit of the enemy retreating in this direction have reached Amman . To the north of this station important demoli- tions of the railway have been effected by the Arab forces . Other Arab forces are threatening the enemy retiring northwards from Maan . The total number of prisoners has increased to over 40,000 , whilst not less than 265 guns have been taken . BALKANS CAMPAIGN . ENEMY EVACUATES 20 - MILE The British Salonica official issued on Tuesday by the War Office reads as follows : FRONT . As a result the attacks and continual heavy pressure by the British and Greek troops , in con- junction with the French and Serbian advance . further west , the enemy has evacuated his whole line from Doiran to west of the Vardar . He has set on fire Hudova Station , Cestovo , and Tike and Tatarli dumps , and his troops and trans- port are crowding along the road northwards , heavily bombed and machine - gunned by our R.A.F. Our troops are advancing , and have reached the line Kara - Ogular - Hamzali . One kilometre south of Bogdanch and west of the Vardar they are advanc ing on Mrzenci , in touch with the Greeks at Gurincet . 6,000 BULGARIAN PRISONERS TAKEN . An Exchange message from Athens reports : " Patris " The publishes a telegram froju Salonica stating that the operations in the Mog - 1 lenitza sectors are continuing with great success and that Allied units have occupied Morisovo . The number of Bulgarian prisoners up to Tuesday was 6,000 . of M. Venizelos informed journalists that the breach caused by the Serbian progress north the Dobropolje would very soon have extremely favourable consequences for the Allies . BULGARIANS RETREAT IN DISORDER . ON A 95 MILES FRONT . A despatch from the Central News special mili- tary correspondent in Paris states : The Bulgarians . àre now in full retreat from Monastir as far as Lake Doiran , on a front of over miles . The beaten army includes Bavarian contingents com- manded by a German General The retreat is being effected in complete disorder . Some rearguard de- tachments on the right of the battlefield between the Vardar and Lake Doiran are attempting , with- out success , to delay the march of the Allies , who in this region are British troops , but to the north of Monastir and the Cerna bend the enemy is in unmitigated retreat . Men in disorder throng the road to Ishlip , and all the tracks leading to the north . The condition . of the enemy's forces , deprived of food , and fly- ing under the bombs of the Allied airmen , is lamentable . a This victory is only the commencement ; the first general objectives have been attained in manner surpassing all the most optimistic calcu lations . WARNING . BOGUS COAL , INSPECTOR . The bogus coal inspector has appeared , and the Coal Controller warns the public against him . It has been reported to the Coal Controller by a Hampstead resident that a man called at his flat saying that he came from the Coal Control office . The visitor asked the resident's wife as to the coal supplies which had been taken in , and , after being furnished with particulars , said that the household had had too much , and as they were . never allowed to have more than half a ton in at a time , he would have to take half of what was . in the cellar . The man announced that he had a horse and cart in waiting . Fortunately the woman was wise enough to ask for the man's credentials . As he could not produce them she refused to allow him to enter the house . Drawing & Dining - room SUITES . In SOLID OAK and WALNUT . UPHOLSTERED in VELVET , TAPESTRIES and LEATHER .

Publishers , Sterratt and Hughes , 5s .; obtainable at the 1 , co minster Printing Company ) . Social Whoever is interested in the nation's prosperity . and internal peace should not delay in making a ' study of this book . Its subjects are of first - class importance , and treated by a man who , for many years , has closely observed industrial and problems . And not only in the interest of the employer . Sir C. Macara is a leader in a great industry , and we regret that he occasionally betrays the bias of his class ; but , nevertheless , he is far removed from those whose only use for trade is the making of dividend . His public record is good one ; his sincere desire for social reform can- not be suspected ; he dislikes the arrogant ployer as he does the stupid employee . opinions and suggestions of such a be pondered . it em- The man should over The title of the book suggests its substance : - Reform in industrial methods for the sake of national prosperity . In quite a number of cases a suggested remedy is preceded by an attack on some existing evil , or by a warning against a policy that may be attempted by interested parties . Among these are excessive State control trade ; conscription of wealth ; failure of manufac-- turers to every customer ; preference shown to foreign goods on our railways ; agriculture hav ing been allowed to drift into a state from which it has been almost impossible to rescue it ; and a chapter is devoted to the fallacy of Protection as a means of curing al ' our ills . Mr. Hughes might be advised to read this , in order to understand a matter of which he has far only spoken . In his constructive suggestions , as in the above , the writer is definite , clear and sure of his ground ; and if criticised will not easily be proved to be wrong ; if it be allowed that the god of the majority is a desirable end . It may be said that his proposals would always keep the musses as the makers of wealth ( and as we believe that labour is prior to capital , therefore the makeTS should be the equal shares of wealth ) , and it here that his proposals might , we think , have been carried farther , but even with that said , his suggestions are a gospel which ought to be pro- claimed from the house tops , so much do they savour of an attempt at justice , and are so reason- able . Industry on his lines , strengthened with sound legislation , would at least result in eradicat- . ing many things , which so far have kept the nation at industrial war , in its turn having a bad moral and social effect on the community . Some of the particular things he advocates are Control " Boards , composed of representatives of capital and labour , and his experience of the Board in the cotton industry makes him confident that such in- stitutions are the best for overcoming difficulties , and securing the co - operation of both parties , which makes for regularity in employment and more fairness in the question of wages . Again , " Solicitous for the prosperity of my country , I am constrained to make an appeal in regard to the future of British agriculture . " That he understands this great industry is certain ; of its importance he has always been convinced and- at its neglect has been incensed . When in the last 60 years ( up to 1914 ) the number of game keepers increased from 9,000 to 23,000 , it is plain that something was wrong . A serious handicap to farmers , apart from the apathy of St. Stephens , is the preference given to foreign produce on our railways and even the " apostles of efficiency " make it hard for farmers to secure women labour , because of the extravagant wages offered in the munition works . If agriculturists have re cently prospered , they are still unable to compete with a generous Treasury . For this industry then , he urges Training Centres ; more Government sym pathy and better inducements to women to become workers on the land . And for the nation to be come independent of the foreigner for essential foodstuffs his proposals should be tried . We gain urge our readers to study , this book . Its economic ' teaching is sound and of its moral tone the same can be said . He offers a policy which would cause no revolution , save that of bringing to our country more general satisfaction , and giving to it strength which would stand external shocks , be- cause founded on internal justice . GEO . ELLIOT LEE . a NEED FOR INCREASED ACREAGE OF WHEAT . An appeal to farmers is made by the Director- General of the Food Production Department , through the Agricultural Executive Committees , for the greatest possible acreage of wheat to be grown for the 1919 harvest . The Birmingham Agri- cultural Executive Committee , therefore , urge , in view of the facts placed before them , that all re- cently ploughed - up turf land , however , cropped this year , should be prepared for wheat , and as the best seeding time is at hand no time should be lost , in preparing for and sowing this crop . The great need is for home - produced food , and the order of importance for 1919 is : Wheat , potatoes , oats As a misunderstanding seems to have arisen in relation to the Government policy regarding the further ploughing up of suitable turf land , Alderman Quinney , chairman of the Birmingham Committee , states that it is the earnest view of the Board of Agriculture that wherever the far- mer as land that can with advantage be ploughed , and has labour for its further cultivation , he must not hesitate to do so . The Committee will be in a position to give considerable help with horses , implements , and men . MARKETS . : IS .
